Devoted Husband Treats Wife with Dementia to the 'Best Day She Can Have' Every Single Day
March 22, 2024
Jim goes above and beyond for his wife with dementia, Maureen, striving to make each day the "best day she can have." And his utter devotion is truly inspiring!
Marriage is a lifelong commitment between two people who vow to remain together through the good and the bad. Part of the vows exchanged while standing at the altar includes a passage about remaining together through sickness and in health. Those are sacred promises, not to be taken lightly.

When one man in Australia, Jim, said “in sickness and in health” to his wife, Maureen, he meant it as demonstrated by his loving and moving actions. In a video posted on Facebook, Jim states that Maureen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia four years ago.
Husband Cares For Wife With Dementia
Every single day since her diagnosis, Jim brings Maureen down to their favorite café. Jim and Maureen also visit, every day, the beach where they had their first date and the place where they first held hands, according to the Manly Observer.

“My philosophy is each day, I want to give Maureen the best day she can have,” Jim said. “That statement stems from when she came out of the hospital, and each day could have been her last.”
But that is not all that Jim does for his wife. The video’s narrator states that Jim noticed Maureen would quietly reach out for other people’s hands. Most of the time, Maureen’s attempts to touch or hold someone’s hands would go unnoticed. So, Jim created a t-shirt with a message to ensure people noticed.
Following her diagnosis, Jim was told that Maureen likely would not make it another four months. However, Jim reveals that doctors told him that more than two years ago.
